LANSING, MI -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder will continue his push to reform and expand Medicaid tonight at a senior living community in Metro Detroit.

Snyder is expected to discuss the "Healthy Michigan" plan Wednesday night at Fox Run in Novi. The informational session is planned for 7 p.m., and the governor's office will be streaming live video of the event, which you can watch in the embedded player above.

Opponents are also ramping up their efforts -- and getting creative in the process. Americans For Prosperity-Michigan is offering free hot air balloon rides tomorrow in Kalamazoo and Caledonia.

House Bill 4714 would allow the state to reform its Medicaid program and expand eligibility to individuals who earn up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The federal government would fund the expansion through the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare."

Watch the governor's appearance tonight at 7 p.m., and return to MLive this Sunday to read opinion pieces by Snyder and state Sen. Patrick Colbeck, who is a vocal opponent of the Medicaid legislation and has introduced a "free-market" alternative.
